Perhaps 80's action films were all self-aware? Beginning as a rather reflective police procedural, the action and logic soon jump into ludicrous speed in a manner that seems purposeful and reflexive: a comment on the American Banal, allowing regular joes an outlet to blow shit up. The use of sound - background sounds always commenting on the characters - seems to point this way. It's practically magical realism for working stiffs.

The originator. This one laid down the blue-print for every Bruckheimer buddy flick to come. And as insulting as that sounds, somehow, this one works. Sure it meanders a little too much out the gate. Sure by now most of its characters, situations and sequences have become cliches. Sure there isn't much by way of plot. Sure Gibson's rocking the Mellet. It doesn't matter. It's just a fun and very likable flick. Released four months before I was born, it hasn't aged as gracefully as I have.

The 1980s sensibility enormously dates this picture; largely with the post-Vietnam backstories, inner city fear of drugs, and conversations on sensitive men. Yet the buddy cop concept revolutionized police movies. My one complaint is that the suicidal tendencies of the Riggs character are sometimes a little too cartoony--especially when played after some nice quiet dramatic moments. Still, the action (mainly the torture scene) is geared towards teenage boys, and the movie holds up at that level.

Mel Gibson is great as a grunting, top-notch-abs, Vietnam Vet suicidal crazy person with 80s hair. Danny Glover's mustache does a satisfactory job, and Shane Black's writing makes no sense. LETHAL WEAPON is littered with very random explosions, gunfights, fisticuffs, and a drug smuggling plot that hardly matters. It's also the most random Christmas movie I've ever seen, as it's of no consequence to the plot, and was apparently released on March 6, 1987. lol???

The single-minded focus on exploring the protagonists' chemistry thankfully drowns out the pulpy plot, it's just fortunate that Richard Donner was able to cast a better salt and pepper duo than the one in his earlier film "Salt and Pepper".

Remember the good ole days, when cops just shot people at random, probable cause was a pipe dream and "read him his rights" was usually followed by a shot to the leg or groin area. This movie makes it apparent that if you must use the 80s, please be responsible and don't operate any heavy machinery after taking the 80s. The mullet you save may be your own.

Assorted cliches delivered with naïve bluntness, "preconscious self-reflection" & lack of misguided ambition that somewhat compensate for the accompanying frustrations. Refreshing in the age of overblown spectacle & shallow postmodern irony. Appropriate levels of technical competence & performative gusto. Glover has a right mix of confidence & embarrassment while Gibson has no trouble portraying a psycho nutcase. Should've done more with character dynamics & plot but it's functionally cheesy.

A madly clever buddy cop blockbuster capitalizing on Gibson's Mad Max image as another widower cop with a death wish. Thanks largely to its star chemistry, Shane Black's acute script, Kamen's pulsing suspense score and its overall iron-fisted R-ratedness, it is full of powerhouse scenes that would be above this movie were its action and suspense sequences not coordinated with such rigor.

Watching this for the first time 25 years after its release; I loved it. Like 80s fellows First Blood, Die Hard or Terminator, it's one of the greats of its genre. The acting is surprisingly solid, as is most of the writing - though some of the humor was incredibly flat. "Let's do what the one shepherd said to the other." "What's that?" "Get the flock out of here." I love puns as much as the next guy, but that was one odd joke. Admittedly a very minor flaw in this cop-movie classic.

Shane Black is given credit for creating the new era of action movies, but he did it much better with The Last Boyscout. What he did here, however, was succeed in creating Riggs. The renegade/suicidal cop may not have been entirely new, but this version has been copied over and over again. Riggs stands as the most entertaining of the bunch.

Welcome to the 80s. Despite its bigoted flaws and some leaps of logic (how do the guys in the helicopter know who the cops were? How did they know Joshua was going to the house? How did they know it was Riggs shooting?), it still comes out better than many of today's blockbusters. Has Richard Donner ever made a bad movie?

I guess the cliche of this unusual cop pairing was still fresh back then because it comes across well. The different temperaments these two have complement each other brilliantly. It's handsomely made (impressive opening shot), but quite a bit of the est of it is bad, particularly the action scenes (the final fight scene is astonishingly dumb and unnecessary).

The action sometimes feels a little dated, but there's no denying that the gruff chemistry between Gibson and Glover makes the movie a classic. They both play such opposing personalities and the film is at its best when their witty exchanges play out naturally. Gary Busey is also a standout as a chilling killer who nearly is unstoppable and the film does boast some exciting climatic moments during the action-packed finale.

Arguably overrated, "Lethal Weapon" fluctuates between cool one-liners and painfully outdated dialogue, exciting action sequences and badly-directed ones, memorable scenes (Mel Gibson's terrific performance when his character almost commits suicide comes to mind) and totally unremarkable ones. It's influential, entertaining and obviously flawed.

L.W was clearly influenced by 48 Hrs, but it lacks its racially charged milieu. Murtaugh's initial problem with Riggs is that he seems crazy, but they become chummy quickly, which removes much needed tension from their subsequent interactions. Gibson is fine in his star making role, but his bug-eyed wildman routine wears out its welcome, and his suicide attempts are comically dramatic. The action scenes are also nothing special. It's a pleasant diversion, but it's highly overrated.

Far and away the best thing it has going for it is the chemistry between the two leads. Michael Kamen's score is also pretty solid; reminiscent of Die Hard score from a year later. Both suicide attempt scenes (gun in mouth and guy on the roof) are classic. As a pure 80s action flick it's pretty good if never hitting the level of spectacular, and the cop/mystery storyline (the case, the investigation, the villains etc.) is decent at best.

Lethal Weapon is one of the great 80's action movies. Two good guys versus a bunch of bad guys. The plot is simple but that is really all you need in a good action movie. This movie has good car chases, good fight scenes, and just enough one-liners to make it memorable. Danny Glover and Mel Gibson are great together. Gary Busey does a great job of being the asshole that the audience wants to see die a slow death, but I guess he's made a career out of that.

One of the best action films of all time. Fun, quotable, full of excellent action, but the most notable aspect of this film is its heart. "I'm too old for this shit" is amusing and became a pastiche, but its grounded in reality and really means something. And Gibson's character, which eventually became a parody of itself, is a rare treat for a film such as this. The scene in his caravan near the start of the film with the gun is one of the most emotional scenes in any action film ever.

The only lethal thing this movie was about is how lethal it was to its lead actors. It seems like not only did Mel Gibson go a little crazy, but so did Danny Glover and Gary Busey. Still, regardless of how the mental status is of these fine actors... this movie was awesome. I love how crazy Gibson is, especially on the rooftop with the jumper. Glover is an excellent foil to Gibson, being the pragmatic cop in the group...

Got halfway through and had to turn it off. Can't remember the last movie I sat down to watch but couldn't finish. Mullet Gibson was just too annoying. If he isn't twitching every muscle in his face because he's CRAZY he's being sarcastic, unfunny and totally unlikable. Everything about this movie is a mix of dated and/or terrible. That dinner scene with the beatboxing and the daughter raping Hairy Mel with her eyes was the final straw for me. Maybe it was good in the eighties, but not today

Self-parody incarnate, the self-aware pantomime of an action movie, so much so that its occasional stabs at pathos register as perverse and its attempts at narrative as perfunctory, at least when they're not oriented toward the well-meaning Huxtable-ization of the black middle-class family. Fittingly, the film offers its own auto-critique: "I'm getting too old for this shit."

Lethal Weapon is an unequivocal success. It's really funny, incredibly entertaining, and has some inventive action scenes and great chemistry between its actors. It's at the top of the heap when it comes to buddy-cop movies, and is right near the top when it comes to action movies of the '80s. Danny Glover and Mel Gibson are great as the mismatched duo, Garey Busey is an intimidating villain, and they all get a lot to do in what feels like a short period of time. See Lethal Weapon.

Lethal Weapon is up there with Die Hard as one of my favourite action films. And it's without doubt the best buddy cop partnership. I grew up loving Mel Gibson & Danny Glover as Riggs & Murtaugh, their genius chemistry, bickering and humour is the backbone and the heart and soul of the whole series. These films have great sentimental value to me, my late Grandfather introduced them to me and we regularly watched them together. And after many viewings Lethal Weapon still gives me great pleasure.

Ridiculous 80s action movie with two charming leads that have good chemistry and play off of each other well. Not a great movie, but it's pretty entertaining and well done.

Enjoyable action flick but the ending is far too predictable for me to really enjoy.

I'm getting too old for Mel Gibson being a smart-ass.

While this movie doesn't quite hold up, it's still a hell of a lot of fun. The end one-on-one fight scene was poorly shot and really makes no sense. Mel does a good job but it's Danny Glover and his film family that really makes the movie.

The most successful installment in a phenomenally successful series, Lethal Weapon helped redefine action movies for the 1980s and 1990s.

Mel Gibson's loose cannon cop is my favorite aspect of the movie, but his dynamic with Danny Glover is a close second -- it is, after all, the seminal buddy cop film for a reason. Everything else is just derivative of earlier, tighter, more interesting cop films.

Glover and Gibson make a good team, they work well together. Most of this movie is good, however the ending of the movie is a let down. There are some good action scenes but the final one is dull.

This film was a blast to watch.The chemistry between Mel Gibson and Danny Glover was great and the non-stop banter between them was really cool.The action is pretty much kept to the last half hour where it explodes into one long sequence that was incredibly fun and exciting to watch.

This is pretty much the definitive buddy/cop movie. Danny Glover is a by-the-books by-the-books cop, and Mel Gibson is a by-the-books loose cannon character. This is the kind of things buddy/cop movies have been emulating or spoofing since the 80s
